An amazing story of love, race, and determination. A wonderful lesson on never judging a book by it's cover. Full of history, full of generations. A great read throughout, up to the unbelievable ending.

Really one of the better reads in awhile. The novel has so much depth, heart, and soul to it. It is a story of long and a story of outcast. It is just filled with secrets that this family has and will create. It takes place at the close of the Civil War and the men are coming home. Norman {a white man} comes home with an escaped slave as his nurse and then his lover. This is a wonderful read and at times makes you feel like you are living there right then. Highly reccommend.
The characters in this book do a lot of thinking, which I thought was overdone, but some people might enjoy. I found it being a little depressing as well. On the upside, it is very well written and the characters are clearly defined and very realistic.
Good Book -
